Yogurt

sc, Jkurz1,

I've checked several different sites and have found a gi for artifically sweetened, non-fat yogurt of 14. Since it has a lower gi than rice wouldnt this be a good source of clean carbs?

No........it's not a CLEAN carb...........it's very high in sugar..........learn to make the CC switchm trust me.........

This is confusing to me. Artifically sweetened yogurt has no sugar. It is my understanding that this type of yogurt has a very low gi, lower than most clean carbs such as rice, oatmeal, etc. Similar to fruit in that although the "sugar" content is high, your body does not process it like a typical high gi food like candy.

BTW CC is fine, I'm just trying to understand what I've been reading.

See, this is what we need to get rid of. Information that is completely off the mark. Yogurt is usually one of two things. LOADED with simple sugars, or outragiously high in fat.........use cottage cheese as SC suggested....good source of calcium and protein........very little sugar/fat.

Well i do hope that you know that i was kidding. I'm new to this forum, i didn't know everyone would take it so ....poorly. Lighten up, its ok, i think i made it clear in my last post i wasn't entirely serious.

So, jdw152 provides a reasoned response stating an artificially sweetened, nonfat yogurt has a GI of 14 and your response is "it's high in sugar." Do you understand what "artifically sweetened" means." You need to back up your opinion with more than a "trust me." lol

So its bad to eat yogurt?

Some yogurt is bad such as those sweetened with sugar and high in fat since most of fat is saturated. But I dont see the reasoning behind no sugar, non fat yogurt being bad.

I was hoping Jkurz1 or sc would explain their reasoning rather than just making the blanket statement that yogurt is bad or "you can find better carbs".
